Nothing Launches Headphone (1) Pro for $399

Nothing Technologies Ltd. launched the Headphone (1) Pro on September 29, 2026, entering the premium wireless audio market to compete with Apple Inc., Sony Group Corp., and Bose Corp. The headphones are priced at $399 in the United States and £349 in the United Kingdom, available through the company website, Amazon, and Best Buy.

The device features an aluminum-and-titanium structure with 9H Panda Glass accents on the ear cups. Internally, the headphones utilize a triple-driver architecture consisting of bass, precision, and treble drivers to mimic professional studio monitors. Technical specifications include active noise cancellation powered by 10 microphones, a battery life of up to 68 hours with ANC disabled, and a physical Flat EQ toggle for neutral listening.

Developed in collaboration with Metropolis Studios, the product offers spatial audio modes and EQ profiles tailored for British music genres via the Nothing X app. Initial reactions are mixed; while reviewers praised the premium materials and tactile controls, some criticized the hardshell carrying case as impractical and questioned the price increase over the original Headphone (1) model.
